The official source

Where the official Marion County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the City of Indianapolis / Marion County IndyGIS + Marion County Assessor. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with tax delinquent. Indiana rules and the Indiana guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Owners who do not live in the house are less attached to it, and every repair, vacancy or tax bill is a reason to sell.
